Two Clayton sisters mystery

[corblimey]

Thank you so much for these links.  One for the 1905 New Jersey census is a bit strange.  In Elizabeth Ketterson's record it states that she was born in 1876 when she was born in 1873, it also states that she was born in Ireland and that her parents were born in Ireland (father) and Scotland (mother).  Her husbands record states England, England, England.  I suspect that the enumerator had it the wrong way around as Elizabeth's record should have shown England for all three births (hers, father's mother's) and Ireland/Ireland/Scotland for her husband John's (his, his father, his mother).  Little wonder we amateur researchers get confused!

I have now been able to add so much more to Elizabeth Ann Clayton's story - many thanks!

Is the record that you sent to me a death?  She and her twin, Madie Jane are on the BDM birth record (same record, same date), born August 1911, but after this date, only Madie Jane is on future records. 

 

What I have listed is the GRO birth registration for Mary.
Mother Maiden Surname is HUGHES


Here is Madie Jane CLAYTON  mms HUGHES 
GRO Reference: 1911  D Quarter in BRENTFORD  Volume 03A  Page 200.

A later census shows Madie with mother Mary Ann and a brother.

From other registers etc, the exact birthdate for Madie Jane CLAYTON 27 Aug 1911.

Many thanks, Sue.  I can now add Mary's and Madie's exact birth date to their records.  It is strange that Mary T doesn't appear in any records after her birth, but Madie is easy to trace via census and, later a marriage to Colin C Turner.  I have Madie Jane Clayton Turner's death in Weston-Super-Mare.

With the search for Marion Martha/Edith Marion Clayton Gibson, now that I have her younger sister, Elizabeth Ann Clayton Ketterson's obituary, I know that Marion died before her as only two of Elizabeth Ann's siblings are mentioned as family (Henry living in Durban, and Isabella living in London).

Thank you again everyone who has so kindly helped with my Clayton research.
